Yellow! The yellow chassis and red plastic go real good together. When I ever paint mine, I want a red frame to go with my yellow plastic.

That would look mint for a 300, Im thinking about getting mine powder coated dark blue with red plastic.. Close to the same set up Bill Balance has. Ive seen a pic in DirtWheels, it looks mint

Right now mine is in the same process of being powdercoated and gusseted. Im getting mine red with yellow plastic. But of coarse I had to chrome the swingarm and top a-arms and also have my bottom a-arms powdercoated red. But I think if you are running red plastic I would go with the yellow frame. You will stand out a lot more and look very trick just like 400exRacerx.

I just got done painting my 300's frame red. It looks good. I painted the swing arm, a arm's, front bumper and grab bar. I'm planning on getting black race fenders and black seat cover for it. It would look good with red fenders too. That's what my 400 is going to get red on red.:devil

I wanna get a baby blue frame with blue and orange plastic. And ghost flames on the gas tank,dont think I could afford the ghost flames though. When painting a frame must it be powdercoated? If not what kind of paint is good to use?

i had a dream the other night about this....but they don't make it so........i was thinking yellow frame...a real bright yellow.like the kind in a high-lighter..looks like it would glow under a black light kinda yellow....with that collor yellow for some graphix...maybe a blue seat-or a grey...with dark grey plastic....think about it....but they don't make dark grey plastic.or light grey for that matter...paint your hubs and a few othe parts that yellow color...maybe a chrome swinger and "A"'s tisk tisk..it looked sweet in my dream..sittin' on paddles with mo-hawks in the front...full chrome pipe nerfs and bumper's..'lumey' air box..someone do it so i can see it..make maier make..wait make fullbore make grey plastic..sign a patition...

.....chrey250r....hey man that maier plastic on your ike looks pretty shiney...that must be right after you hooked it up huh....let us know how it holds that shine..how long it takes till it wears off ...
